Im going down to the river



to see how deep it is today



Yes Im going down to the river



to see how deep it is today



How much waters in that river?



Will it wash my blues away?







I had to ask my babys pardon



for the things Id done to her



Now detectives are tryin to figure

But Im going down to the river



to see how deep it is today



How much waters in that river?



Will it wash my blues away?







Police interrogation



Where were you that date and time?



Man, to me thats no kind of question



I put her life so high above mine







Please sir come down to the station



just to tell us what you know



What is your suggestion?



Whats she done? And where did she go?







Im going down to the river



to see how deep it is today

to see how deep it is today



How much waters in that river?



Will it wash my blues away?
